Tips for Smarter Pinning

There’s more to Pinterest than “just pinning” and learning a few extra tips can maximize your Pinterest activities. While I love to spend time pinning, I also maximize my time there by finding ways to use it for creating content that I can share on other social platforms and learn while I’m there. These are a few things that I wanted to share for this week’s Fab Five Friday.

1.Repinly “helps you find the most popular pins, boards, and pinners on Pinterest. I particularly enjoy the Pinterest Stats page.

5. When you find something cool on Pinterest, pin it on a board and then share your pin. Don’t miss the opportunity to share your pins! I see many avid pinner missing the opportunity to share their Pinterest pins or boards.

I haven’t used Pinstamatic yet Peg, but love the look of it. I’m going to have to pop over and give it a try! Thank you for the mention of my Top 40 article. Their are some great pinners listed there with YOU at the top of the list! 🙂

Hi Peggy, Wow, what a great resource for Pinterest tools! I definitely have to check out Repinly. Their Pinterest Stats page is fascinating.

I used Pretty Pinterest Pins in my sidebar to show my latest pins. You can control which boards show as well as how many pins are displayed. I love the added beauty that the widget adds to my site.

I also am a big fan of group boards. When I pin something to one of my group boards I get a lot more repins and sometimes new followers. Group boards are a way to share your pins much more broadly than pinning them to one of your own boards.

@wonderoftech I’ll have to go check out your blog with the Pretty Pinterest Pins, I’ve tried a few of them but didn’t settle on one yet.

I like group boards but I’m also hesitant to accept requests from people I don’t know since it shows on my profile. One board that I joined ended up having spammy content. I do have several boards that are collaborative boards that I love.

@PegFitzpatrick Good point about group boards with spammy content. I haven’t run across that issue before, luckily!

I have been very pleased with Pretty Pinterest Pins. The load time of my site doesn’t seem to be affected by it and I haven’t had any problems with it.
